Chapter 9
- 9:1
- And the
LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month
of the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt,
saying,
- 9:2
- Let the
children of Israel also keep the passover at his appointed season.
- 9:3
- In the
fourteenth day of this month, at even, ye shall keep it in his
appointed season: according to all the rites of it, and according to
all the ceremonies thereof, shall ye keep it.
- 9:4
- And Moses
spake unto the children of Israel, that they should keep the passover.
- 9:5
- And they
kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at even in
the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that the LORD commanded
Moses, so did the children of Israel.
- 9:6
- And there
were certain men, who were defiled by the dead body of a man, that
they could not keep the passover on that day: and they came before
Moses and before Aaron on that day:
- 9:7
- And those
men said unto him, We are defiled by the dead body of a man: wherefore
are we kept back, that we may not offer an offering of the LORD in his
appointed season among the children of Israel?
- 9:8
- And Moses
said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the LORD will
command concerning you.
- 9:9
- And the
LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
- 9:10
- Speak
unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your
posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be in a
journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the LORD.
- 9:11
- The
fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it, and eat
it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
- 9:12
- They
shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break any bone of it:
according to all the ordinances of the passover they shall keep it.
- 9:13
- But the
man that is clean, and is not in a journey, and forbeareth to keep the
passover, even the same soul shall be cut off from among his people:
because he brought not the offering of the LORD in his appointed
season, that man shall bear his sin.
- 9:14
- And if a
stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover unto the
LORD; according to the ordinance of the passover, and according to the
manner thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have one ordinance, both for
the stranger, and for him that was born in the land.
- 9:15
- And on
the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the
tabernacle, namely, the tent of the testimony: and at even there was
upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the
morning.
- 9:16
- So it was
alway: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by
night.
- 9:17
- And when
the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that the
children of Israel journeyed: and in the place where the cloud abode,
there the children of Israel pitched their tents.
- 9:18
- At the
commandment of the LORD the children of Israel journeyed, and at the
commandment of the LORD they pitched: as long as the cloud abode upon
the tabernacle they rested in their tents.
- 9:19
- And when
the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle many days, then the
children of Israel kept the charge of the LORD, and journeyed not.
- 9:20
- And so it
was, when the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle; according to
the commandment of the LORD they abode in their tents, and according
to the commandment of the LORD they journeyed.
- 9:21
- And so it
was, when the cloud abode from even unto the morning, and that the
cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed: whether it was
by day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed.
- 9:22
- Or
whether it were two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud
tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining thereon, the children of Israel
abode in their tents, and journeyed not: but when it was taken up,
they journeyed.
- 9:23
- At the
commandment of the LORD they rested in the tents, and at the
commandment of the LORD they journeyed: they kept the charge of the
LORD, at the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
